Harmony.

We listen with appreciation to our e.
teemed contemporary, the Washington Post,
when it justly speaks Of THE Sun. which Is
doing * much just o to harmonic party
differences, and to dress the Democratic line
for the great battle Of 1885,"
1t Is gratifying to see that the Post, which
speaks at the same time OF the problem Of
revenue reduction. now inclines toward the
plan which includes a curtailment of the
internal revenue.
Without considering other arguments, q
reduction Of the internalrevenue would form
the most effective and conclusive denial that
the Democracy Is for free trade, and unless
all doubts upon that question can be re-
moved from the public mind before the next
campaign begins, the result cannot be other
han disastrous.
For that reason The Sun has long been
strenuous in it's opinion that the internal
revenue should be reduced as the first step
toward the removal Of the surplus, and the
TACT that our efforts are recognized and COM
mended by a journal like the Post will be
also a subject for satisfaction to the United
Democracy, which hopes to elect the next
President.

A brief pleasure trip to India made by a

aid of fast steamers and fine railroad service.
The party was away from England just sixty
days, Of which thirty-nine were spent In tho
round trip from England to Bombay. leaving
three weeks for sightseeing In India. Two
days were given to Calcutta, two to Darjesling
on the northeastern edge Of India. where there
are superb views OF the Himalayas; two days
to the temples and palaces OF Benares, one day
to the beautiful city OF Lucknow, two days to
the remarkable palaces and anclont tombs at

Of northern India Then the party returned to

The convention Of Republican clubs was
moro noticeable for it's enthusiasm thar Its
Intelligence, and its platform Is full OF q
buncombe unusually windy even for Repub-
lican ATTITUDES. It charges the Democratic
party with responsibility for pretty much
everything that is bad. and credits the Re-
publican party with pretty much everything
that Is good. Outside Of q few ~benighted
hamlets in the Western Reserve that sort Of
talk attracts no attention. As O declaration
OF principles this Republican platform can
hardly be taken seriously. Even on the
tariff It is unfair, II not consciously dishon-
est. The resolutions, taken as O whole, pre-
sent dead issues OF the past or bogus ones Of
the present. Whatever tho result Of the
convention may be eventually in promoting
the discipline and efficiency Of the party,
q canting and hollow platitudinous rhetoric,
not likely to attract new voters, pervaded
the resolutions and most Of the speeches.
But In one respect the convention has been
interesting. It was q BLAINE convention
almost from the start. Supporters Of other
candidates were present, and 60 were some
determined and virulent anti-BbkINE men
like the Hon. JOHN O. NEW Of Indiana. 1t
does not appear that the formation OF a
national league OF Republican clubs was
originally proposed in the interest Of Mr..
BLAINE, or that his friends made any effort
to elect delegates friendly to him. His boom
IL in 30 healthy q condition that no artificial
means need be called In to improve 1t. Mr..
SHERMAN's friends made an effort to do
something for him, but they failed. The
hurrah movement controlled the conven.
ton. and the nero mention Of Mr.. BLArNE's
name thrilled the hearts and the lungs Of a
majority Of the delegates. II this assem-
blage had been the national nominating
convention. the hurrah movement would
probably have been about as strong.
1t Is simply mentioning a fact to say that
Mr.. BLAINE is still first, with no second, IN
the estimation Of his party. And yet, IN the
great economic issues which are just now
engrossing the interest Of the public, Mr..
BLAINE cannot be regarded oven by all the
members Of his own party as a safe authori-
ty to be followed. His whiskey tax distribu-
ton scheme won't wash.

Government Telegraphy.

Nearly all the discoveries and improve
ments In telegraphiC science have been
American. The specially American demand
for the improvements stimulated the most
ingenious and ambitious operators in our
telegraph companies to discover newer and
better methods. There were many rival lines
OF telegraph, and competition between them
was fruitful In efforts to acquire greater
control over electricity, and get out Of
1t faster and cheaper work. To all
these inventors Senator EDMuNDs stands
In his place IN the United States Senate
and gives notice: "If my Postal Telegraph
bill becomes a law, the Secretary of War will
have the power to seize your devices and
machines and use them In the Government
service; and II you and he cannot agree
upon o price for them, your only remedy
will be to sue the Government In the Court
o. Claims. with the privilege, II dissatisfied
with its award. Of appealing to the Supreme
Court" Whatever influence this language,
perfected into law. may have on other
things, it will end telegraphic invention.
That Is dead sure. Research and endeavor
In this most delicate and elusive department
Of science will nc longer have the encourage
ment of large reward and competitive mar
ket. The admirable business OF these finely
organized men, who lead lives OF ingenious
experiment and patient trial, will DO struck

The Sun and the Labor Cause.

The American Federation OF Labor, in
convention In Baltimore, passed yesterday a
| resolution condemning the alleged boycott
| Of THE Sun by the knights OF Labor. The
ground taken Is that any such mani
f~estation on the part Of a labor organi-
zation toward q public Journal Of THE
SUNS character could not fail to be
injurious to the best interests Of the work.
ing people. The idea Is sound, and we con-
graduate the Federation upon its good
sense, while for the individual expressions
Of friendship for this paper and approval Of
its course we are only too glad to prefer our
hearty thanks.
Tie so-called boycott was an attempt N
the part Of the men who have run to de-
struction and disgraoe the organization
known as the Knights of Labor. to injure
THE SUN, to work 1t some practical and
material damage. They designed to dis
arm. shut up, and suppress wholly II posi-
bic, an Independent and %outspoken news
paper; not that the order they managed had
any quarrel with The Sun, for it had none.
but because private malignity had made it
worth their while. They had. therefore, a
motive, and a base one, and In seeking to
crafty it they did not hesitate to impute to
the laboring men and women Of America, as
represented in their then enormous organ
ization, the design Of overthrowing, crush
ing, and annihilating the free press OF the
country.
We nave never said so before, but we now
point to the singular significance Of the fact
that from the day the edict went out to
boycott THE Sun" the order Of the Knights
Of Labor has faded, decayed, and fallen into
the ruin and confusion that it Is in to-day.
It was a vile and shameless conspiracy; 1t
entrapped many innocent and well-meaning
people; and like all unnatural proceedings 1t
failed Of its purpose. In this fair, free air Of
ours there Ia a native antldote for every
exotic bane that Is imported from across the
Atlantic. be 1t the boycott OF the trafickerin
the welfare Of the laborer or be 1t the sedi-
ton of the hungry Anarchist.
But when a considerable and independent
number of intelligent and genuine workers
in a broad field Of industries assemble, and
out of their sense Of right and fitness ex-
press such opinions and beliefs about THE
| SUN as the Federation 81 Labor chose to do
yesterday at Baltimore, then VIC make our
friendliest Acknowledgements and wish them
Godspeed upon their mission.
